Um, the first one is going to be, uh, Tucker Williams. Officer Tucker Williams, he is, uh, currently lives in Mandan.

00:04:47,600	Uh, he is a graduate from Red River High School Grand Forks. So he comes from the east side of the state. He’s also a University of North Dakota, uh, graduate, uh, with a bachelor degree bachelor’s degree in public affairs. Uh, he’s married and has an 1818 month old son likes golfing, watching sports, especially the NFL and NHL.

00:05:08,000	He also plays in a men’s hockey league here in Mandan. So he’s, uh, real active and that we’re, we’re blessed to have him. He’s almost finished with his field training. So he’ll be getting out there here shortly. So, uh, it’s a, it’s a blessing to have him on board Next one is going to be Andrea Anderson. Uh, she’s a graduate from Legacy.

00:05:28,170	We won’t hold that against her, but she did come to the right side of the river because she now lives in Mandan. And, uh, she, uh, enjoys reading and being with her family and going camping with their family.

00:05:44,600	So it’s, uh, she’s our one of our code enforcement officers, and she has been doing an outstanding job and we are truly, truly blessed to have her on board. And then my next, um, one. Alison Pretzler. Pretzler, uh Allison is living in Bismarck. I couldn’t persuade her to come over to Mandan’s side.

00:06:05,000	She said maybe in the future, but I, you know, she sees how beautiful our city is and hopefully she’ll make that move in the future. Uh, she actually comes from, uh, Lemons, South Dakota. That’s where she went to high school and graduated from.

00:06:20,100	Uh, she is a graduate from Dickens State University with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice, so maybe there’s a future with her to put the blue uniform on And, uh, a couple of things that she enjoys that she enjoys spending time with her family hunting and being able to be outside when it’s nice.

00:06:37,530	Uh, she is another blessing to us and a code enforcement officer, uh, she, the, the two code enforcement ladies are doing an outstanding job trying to keep up on things. I know it can be overwhelming with the jobs that they do and it’s, uh, but, but as as young as they are and as, as, uh, active, uh, we got uh, 3 really good employees here so it’s, it’s been a, a blessing

00:06:52,730	to be their chief. Thank you, Tucker, Andrea, and Allison, welcome. Next, Shane O’Keefe with Public Works. Good evening, Mayor, Commissioners Uh, Street Department down at Public Works is, uh, happy to announce, uh, one of our new hires here, Jace Rebel. came from us from Dickinson.

00:07:33,100	Uh, he did some training at the SWCTE and equipment operating and we’ve had them here since May and we’re it’s great to have him, and he’s been a great employee. Welcome, Chase Next, uh, Jarek from Engineering will give us uh construction update Yes, good evening, Mayor and Commissioners.

00:08:05,630	I do have pulled up on my screen yeah, a little presentation So, um, we have 5, active projects that I have updates for. Um, first on the list is Memorial Highway, uh, recent work includes, uh, installation of a 60-inch storm sewer on the south side of the road. The storm sewer crew is approaching 40th Avenue Southeast. They were working east to west, so they, uh, nearing the 40th intersection.

00:08:23,730	New six-inch water services are complete on the south side from 46th to 40th, and sanitary sewers being complete on the east end near 46th and is being worked on at 40th Avenue. Um, paving and paving it is continuing around the 46th Street intersection.

00:08:40,500	I just got, uh, word today from the DOT that that, um, they’re anticipating opening that the week of the 22nd instead of on the 22nd due to the rain delay today. Um, there’s been a lot of, uh, questions around winter shutdowns related to these projects. So I’m gonna have a little winter, fall, winter update for each of these.

00:08:56,370	Um, winter shutdown for this project, the contractor is still aiming to, to meet the goal of having a paved mainline surface, um, by the end of the season. Um, some of the, uh, project accelerating solutions that have been identified and implemented, uh, one additional underground crew is mobilized be being mobilized this week.

00:09:15,530	Um, a third underground crew is going to be mobilized next week. Uh, GeoGrid is replacing subgrad preparation, which is more which is less sensitive to moisture in the ground, and then a monolithic concrete pore of curbn curb and travel lanes was authorized by NDDOT District staff, which would, um,

00:09:35,270	just cut down on the amount of uh the amount of pores that need to take place, uh, for the product. Um. that’s what I have related to Memorial Highway.

00:09:52,070	I’m gonna pause here and ask if there’s any questions why is monolithic concrete? Monolithic would be, um, they, they pour it all at once and then they’re gonna cut in the joints rather than doing two separate pores. Yep, it’s a termmo wasn’t aware of it. Thank you. Yep. Jerre, can you remind me of the end date for this season that they were looking at.

00:10:07,900	I believe it was November 23rd is the end date, um, I, I think that’s the date that they have in mind. Jarek, there are, there are plans in place in the event that uh weather continues to be a challenge.

00:10:26,600	as, as far as preparing for winter, correct? Correct, yep, there, there’s, there’s pivot plans identified, but, but, uh, the plan right now is to stay the course. OK, thank you. OK. Um, then I’ll move on. Water treatment plant phase 3 optimization project.

00:10:48,430	Recent work here includes driveway replacement near the groundwater lift station, a new CO2 tanks lab, which we’re looking at on the screen right now and sheet piling for the lime silo Foundation. Um, and then work began at the Lyme Foundation. Um, for the winter continuation on this project. This one’s a little different than the others because it will work, will continue into the winter.

00:11:06,070	Fall work will, uh, consist of lime silo, concrete, and site work, railroad spur work, and roofing And then once winter hits, we’ll move uh operations indoors where some, some indoor work includes lime blowout valves, filters 56, and 7, lime slaker installation, some of that, um, chemical feed system on the inside of the building. So um that’s what’s going on out there.

00:11:24,800	Any questions related to that project? I have a question, uh, not too long ago we were having problems with our water intake and the sand buildup and the shifting of rivers, is that still a problem or is that subsided Um, Mayor Comm Rohr, there has been, um, kind of a medium, uh, medium term

00:11:42,100	temporary kind of solution identified and implemented, uh, that should get us through the winter, um, but we were, we were looking for more long-term, uh, solutions and implementations for in the next construction season to, to try and wrap that up.

00:12:00,000	But I can follow up with a, with a more descriptive update on that one if you prefer. As time goes on. Thank you. Uh, moving on, Collins Avenue Reservoir, recent work includes wall and dome panels, um, formwork for Wa and dome slots began, and planning to place concrete for wall and dome slots this week.

00:12:23,470	Um, I do have some pictures in here and I also included some kind of cool uh videos here. We have some drone shots for this is the foundation pore that took place in the early mornings, um a few weeks back um kind of a cool look at the operations there. I know a lot of people don’t get to see up and over the retaining wall there.

00:12:45,900	sometimes Good to see what’s going on In addition to that, I do have, oops, let’s see if I can see if I can get to the next page. There we go. I do have another video. um, just showing showing those, uh, panel placements on the top.

00:13:09,870	of the reservoir Once again, just another good look at the crane operations and it kind of an appreciation for the complexity of the project. Um, winter shutdown, the new reservoir should be online in late November this year. Um, we would expect, uh, exterior finishes to finish in the or to be completed in the spring, and that would include like retaining wallwork.

00:13:38,870	We’re going to peel that retaining wall back to help line of sight issues. Um, the demolition of the existing, uh, reservoir, and then also reservoir painting. Any questions related to the reservoir project. OK Eric, I’m kind of uh kind of enjoy the engineering aspect, but when we look at the grid inside.

00:14:02,900	uh, is that steel fabrication covered with something to prevent rust over a long period. The same with the cement base. Um, Mayor Comm, uh, I, I would have to probably look in or get answers from our consultants, but I I believe that they would. it would be, um, treating, treating that to prevent rusting, yeah.

00:14:30,530	Um, our 2024 street reconstruction project. Um, this is the project that, uh, took place in the low straiter area and the shady acres area. The project is substantially complete right now. We have a walkthrough scheduled for this Friday.

00:14:47,100	and at that walkthrough, what we will do is, um, go in and inspect all the work done to date and, and put together a punch list of items that need to be completed prior to final project close out. So if anybody notices any issues in the area that still need to be remedied, let us know, and we’ll make sure that those get added to the punch list.

00:15:05,800	Um they would likely be finishing the punch list items before the before the winter, uh, close out and then we will have a spring spring 2026 chip seal. to follow, and that is planned, so. any questions related to the 20 of 24 reconstruction project. What’s the uh the winter date for these projects.

00:15:29,470	the neighborhood projects Mayor Commissioners, I don’t know the winter closed on date. contractually for each of the projects, but I, I’d imagine that it’s just gonna depend on snow. Most of these, most of these contractors are gonna be passed where they need to be. contractually, so they’re just going to do as much work as they possibly can.

00:15:47,600	um, before that, before they’re physically unable to continue doing it. Yeah. Then we have our 2025 Re shoot reconstruction project. This is occurring in the Monte Drive area just west of Lewis and Clark Elementary. Um, all water main is installed.

00:16:09,870	Pressure tests and chlorination is to be completed this week, and then after that, all the new mains are going to be fully operational and integrated into our system. Um, crews are working to finish the concrete work, um, prior to the winter shutdown, and a pressure relief valve is going to be delivered in October, and that installation will be at the corner of Monty Drive and 6th, um, kind of in that acute angle

00:16:28,000	intersection. Um, for winter shutdown, contractor is still on track to substantially complete the project before winter. That is essentially full completion of the project and they’re still aiming for that.

00:16:50,970	Worst case scenario would be that they would, uh, include one base lift of asphalt across the entire project area and wrap up in the, in the spring, but that’s where we’re at right now Any questions related to that project Drive. I, I’m not sure about the area at the Wester Christ the King. but um I know the, the water tower area presented the same problems with a lot of buried debris from projects spanning the last 50 or 60 years.

00:17:17,170	So that cost him some time as well as the weather. Is that correct? On the reservoir project, yes, and also on Monte Drive they were pulling some stuff out of there too, I believe. I think that they did encounter some unexpected stuff underground, um, mostly related.

00:17:35,270	What I’m most aware of is, is related to the depth of the berry on some of the old lines where they’d have to, where they had to make. um transition to a deeper berry and stuff like that, so. yeah, thank you, yep Anything else? I think that was, that was my last slide, uh. unless you need anything else from me.

00:17:52,970	Baron Jarek. Just one thing I forgot on the memorial Highway for people watching to reiterate that the asphalt surface is a temporary surface. I still get asked that multiple times a week.

00:18:10,530	I’m sure you do as well, but, let the viewers know that that is temporary, right? Mayor Comm, yes, that asphalt, the current asphalt surface, is a temporary surface meant to be pulled out and replaced with the finished concrete surface. Also, if for any reason that um the concrete surface wasn’t ready for the winter and we needed to pivot to some other option, it would be leveled out.

00:18:26,630	It wouldn’t be, it wouldn’t be going up and down like that, so is by no means permanent. Perfect. Thank you. yep That’s what I have OK, stay standing. um or Shane gonna take this one, the #4, item number 4, water main breaks. I’m gonna let Shane take this one.

00:18:55,330	Good afternoon, Mayors Mayor and Commissioners, uh, just wanted to talk about the water main break, the service interruption that the city of Mandan had. over in mainly on First Street, um, the major break was on 1st and 7th, and then we had a break in between 10th and 11th also on 1st. Um it happened about yesterday, about 5 o’clock when we were notified.

00:19:15,100	I’m happy to announce, oh sorry, there was actually 3 breaks. There was another one earlier this morning. Up on 8th and 5th, so from one, it turned into 3 really fast and under about 12 hours. We have repaired two of them.

00:19:32,270	I’m hoping to hear in the next hour that we are all back and running water running to everyone in the city. Um again, this is down in the 2B area from last year, so. First Street is in the last week we’ve had, this is the 4th water main break in this area. um, in 7 days Shane, I’m sorry, go ahead.

00:19:58,900	Mayor Shane, what, why is the causation that we’re having all these here within that geographic area what what was happening that that’s causing this Guy knows we’re not in the middle of winter, where the ground is freezing.

00:20:19,600	Yeah, nothing specific to pinpoint other than just the age of the uh infrastructure, um could any, any type of shift could possibly, we find any defect in the pipe. could cause that, uh, cause it to that initial break. So we’re just down to that deteriorated pipe that is just so brittle and at any second possibly can break.

00:20:38,730	OK Same question and then the first break we found was a twelve-inch. water main. So it caused, um, a lot of water to run through that system very fast. So that could have caused the other ones to uh follow behind it where it found the next weakest point because the water was going so fast. And Shane, um, the footprint of that water shut down.

00:21:02,370	for yesterday was rather significant. Is that correct? Yeah, that is, uh, that is correct, Comm Uh, it, it, it put out, um, a handful of businesses for the day, uh, and quite a few residents. Uh, I know I talked to a few of the residents today.

00:21:19,800	They were, they were happy we’re there getting everything up and running, um you know, one even made a mention, uh he’ll be fine. He has beer. There’s water in beer. Shane, how do we go about, uh, notifying uh, the residents or the businesses when they’re out of water.

00:21:47,170	Uh, last night once I was notified, I wrote up a social media post for our community team or um communication team to disperse out onto Facebook. Uh, we also ran a reverse 911, uh, if they’re signed up for that, it will send them a text message that they’re, uh, the outage about the outage of the water. OK.

00:22:10,730	And do we have a dollar amount assigned to each break? Um, Mayor, it does vary a little bit, um. uh, I’m getting information right now from my my team back here, uh, about 36,000 would be a rough average.

00:22:39,070	per break break So when we applied for our build grant for Amanda and proper, we, uh, the cost per water main break, and it was uh 36,000 per water main break. And we’ve had how many in that area As of right now, as of right now, the new count that I added up today was 17. OK. All right. Thank you. Appreciate that update Now we will move on to item number 5 under announcements, Chief Sieigler.

00:23:15,870	Mrs regarding camper and trailer parking. Yes, Mister Mayor. Mr. Mayor Commissioners, um, this is just to inform the, uh, the public about the ordinance on trailers and campers parked in front of their residents, uh, from September 15th to May 15th, uh, there’s a restriction that you’re not allowed to park your

00:23:35,070	campers or your trailers, uh, in front of your home. If they, if you do, it could be a $50 fine, uh, fines can be stacked from day to day.

00:23:51,600	So if you violate it today and you don’t move it tomorrow, we come back, we can hit you with another $50 fine, or we could tow your vehicle, uh, your, your, your trailer can be towed also. Uh, we prefer for the officers to try to educate people, uh, before they do that, um, even when it comes to citing people, try to get out there and say, hey, listen, could you please move your trailer off the

00:24:09,730	street. Uh, this is mostly for safety reasons of snow comes and stuff, the, the snow plows have to get through, uh, trailers and campers on the street can cause some issues, uh, so it’s, it’s mostly to help and, and do that.

00:24:28,630	And then May 15th, you can pull them back out and the twelve-hour loading and unloading, um, ordinance goes back into effect, so again, if you do violate it, it can be up to a $50 it could be a $50 fine per day that you violated or the vehicle may be towed.

00:24:50,800	Any questions for Chief Ziegler? Just to comment, Mayoror, Chief, I know one of the other reasons is the amount of equity are people who they have campers and boats and they will stick a sizable amount of money and to making sure there’s not on a street and they, they’ll put in a camper pad and in these places, so they, they spend their money where others, they, oh.

00:25:06,330	they get to park on the street, you know, free, so to speak. without having to make that investment. So there’s some of that too. Uh, Mr. Mayor and Comm Orr, that’s correct. And if for some reason you have to unload something or, you know, you, you need some time to do something, you’re moving or that’s not what this is for.

00:25:23,500	This is mostly for the people who just park them there and they don’t move them. Um, if you’re gonna do that, you can give that a call down to the police department and just let us know that way we understand.

00:25:38,000	So if we get complaints and stuff, we know that you, what you’re doing that you’re there, you’re moving. We understand all that stuff, so that doesn’t mean like if you got a U-Haul trailer and you’re unloading and, and packing and stuff like that that just that’s not what this is for.

00:25:53,430	This is for people who perched their trailers or their campers in front of their, their residents for a long period of time. I hate to think about, uh, winter’s right around the corner, but uh I guess it could.ow next month. Um now we will move to item number 6, Art Alley Update. Mister Neubauer.

00:26:27,530	Mayor Frelich and Commissioners, um, as you probably have seen, um, the alley just to the south of Vicky’s north of Butcher Block in that area. I don’t know why I said Vicky’s first, but it’s, it’s around the corner. The, um, art Alley is going along quite nicely. Bring up a couple of pictures from that area. can get those put up on the screen Um, that is Richard Lowen.

00:26:51,000	He was quite pleased that we were going to take his picture and, and show him tonight at the commission meeting. So again, um, these are, uh, pretty cool things and, uh, credit to, I think Andrew Sromi, who spearheaded this project and also with Aaron Barth from the Northern Plains Heritage, um, for providing some funding and logistics behind the scenes.

00:27:11,370	Bring up a couple a couple more. So again, um, really positive comments. on the uh the art that’s being done and the representation of Mandan. You can see here the railroad bridge, the, the rail yard, um, some of the other Native American history.

00:27:38,100	one that’s particularly interesting, I guess to me is, is it in within this braid that you see you’ll find things like the railroad you find bison you’ll find the railroad bridge you’ll see sign Native American dancers. You’ll find cowboys, you’ll find, um, crying Hill, all kinds of things if you stop and you know, take a look how they do this, I don’t have any idea.

00:27:56,730	I am a terrible stick figure drawer, um, and that’s about the extent of my artistic ability, but, um, like I said, if you have an opportunity, um, to walk through the alley, please, if you see someone back there on Sscaffolding and painting.

00:28:13,270	Don’t drive through the alley and be courteous and kind and give them some room to operate because, um, like I said, a lot of these take a lot of time, effort, energy, and uh, uh, a love of talent, so it’s pretty cool stuff and we encourage everyone to take a look through, you know, take a walk downtown and, and look at the changes.

00:28:28,730	Um, these are, I’m not sure if we have 5 of them up, and I think we’re scheduled for about 15 um, different projects. So again, it’s nice to see him going up in a lot of positive comments throughout the community on this project. so. any questions for Mr.

00:28:46,870	Neubauer? Thank you, Jim Now we’ll move on to public comment. I’ll just gonna read the policy. uh, and then I’ll ask Mr. Neubauer if we have any, uh, the Mandan City Commission values public input. to speak, uh, submit a complete, completed speaker card before the meeting begins.

00:29:10,900	Comments must be related to an item on the current or previous meeting agenda Speakers have 3 minutes each. in the order of the cards are received, the total comment period. is limited to 30 minutes, and at this time I will ask Mister Duarrainny the comments or cards have not received any comments. OK.

00:29:32,270	Thank you With that, we will move on to the approval of the agenda. I would look for a motion to approve the agenda. Move to approve the agenda. Second, a motion by Comm Brown, seconded by Comm Schoberg. Any further discussion Hearing none roll call, please. Yes, yes, Roar. Schoberg, Mayor Frelich.

00:30:01,700	Yes move on to the minutes, uh, consider approval of the September 2, 2025, Board of City Commission meeting minutes. I’ll make a move, motion to accept, uh, minutes of the September 2nd, 2025. Commission meeting minutes. Second, motion by Comm Schoberg, a seconded by Comm Hainon. and he further discussion. hearing none roll call, please, Messrs.

00:30:27,870	Braun, yes, Roar yes, yes, Roar, yes, Schoberg, yes, hi, Mayor Frelich, yes. and we with that rate at 6 o’clock. Mister Neubauer. How’s that for timing We will open the public hearing uh regarding ordinance number 1473, the 2026 budget. Greg, good evening, Mayor and Commissioners.

00:30:59,330	Uh, just to recap, on August 5th, uh, the budget and Finance Committee presented, uh, the preliminary 2026 budget, uh, to the city commission and the board approved the introduction and first consideration and call for a public budget hearing of ordinance 1473 adopting of the preliminary 2026 budget, uh, this evening is the publicly noticed time and place for the city commission to hear any and all protests or objections to the items or amounts set forth in the cities’ preliminary 2026

00:31:24,870	budget statement. um up to, uh, late this afternoon at the finance department did not receive any comments from the public concerning the city’s preliminary 2026 budget, but we did receive a comment late this afternoon, uh, the property owner wanted some, um, information on how the city computed, um, its property taxes in, in um in reference to

00:31:51,000	House Bill 1176, which is better known as the 3% property tax cap um, just for, uh, um. everyone’s information, the city is only utilizing a 2.

00:32:15,630	3% property tax increase for the 2026 budget, uh, the maximum is 3% plus the allowance for new growth on top of that, uh, the, uh, property owner just wanted to know what the sources of data that the city used, um, all the schedules and the information to support how it calculated the property taxes for the 2026 budget.

00:32:33,170	So the finance department will provide that information, uh, to the, to the taxpayer um, at the end of the public hearing, I recommend that the city commission uh make a motion to close the public hearing for ordinance 1473, which is the 2026 budget and then finally on October 7th, the city commission will need to approve the second and final consideration of Ordinance 1473 adopting the final 2026 budget for the city and making the

00:32:56,730	annual tax levy for 2025. OK. And then there was a, a question regarding the airport from the same. property owner. and Lindsay’s not here, but that would be a question for her. Um, so I, I, I can’t answer that question regarding the airports.

00:33:25,100	OK, so are you going to follow up with Lisa? I will, yes, yes. We, we will follow up. We’ll get an answer. OK, thank you. Uh, at this time we will open the public hearing. and we’ll, uh, entertain comments. regarding the ordinance number 1473, the 2026 budget. Second call for comments 3rd and final call for comments.

00:37:23,100	plot in a couple of days to work out the kinks in this, um, but at the end of the day um, staff recommends approval of this and we have the contingencies in your um packet as well, but this is a public hearing and um I would ask that

00:38:17,730	Please state your name and my name is uh Ben Capel, so I’m one of the purchasers and I’m also the realtor that would represent all of the buyers in this agreement. Um, basically planning and zoning, we had very long meetings. I want to respect everybody’s time.

00:38:32,270	I think we have all the kinks worked out, um, this has been in the process since the start of the year, and I think my neighbors have been trying to get this done for like 10 years. So I moved in, I’m trying to get this done as a real estate agent.

00:38:44,330	So I just wanted to come up and uh if I need to explain anything, especially from the buyer side, uh, the seller’s agent is here too, and the seller, uh, basically we have two parties in agreement with the plan, um, we have land that we’re changing its use, um, I would argue that it’s highest and best use is to be absorbed into our lots.

00:39:00,800	I can go into that further, um, if you want me to, but I also understand there’s a lot on the agenda today, so, uh, would there be any questions for me at all on this, uh, drawing? The, the, the way I understand it is that most of the property owners, if not all, are very amicable about this, and, and you’re

00:39:19,900	very, very close to tying the knot, so to speak. Yes, yes, very close, yup. OK. That’s my major concern. Any other questions OK, thank you, thank you very much Any other comments Excuse me, my name is Tricia Dietz.

00:39:49,870	I am the uh real estate agent representing the seller, um, in this, in this transaction, uh, I just also wanted to, uh, just kind of come up and make sure that we could answer any questions or, um, address any potential, I guess, concerns, um.

00:40:07,000	if any, on, on all of this, yes, as, as Ben said, we have been working on this, um, since, since the start of the year, since about February of 25 here, um, I have representative Val in the listing of this since the beginning of 2024, so, um, there’s definitely some history in, in, um, the development potential of this and we’ve also kind of, um, through the planning and zoning meeting ran through several different

00:40:24,430	options, um, has been addressed in highest and best use, um, as well as, you know, other, other options. I am continuing to work, uh, I’m a part of the meeting here at the end of this week, um, and continuing to work out, um, that last little kink with with the living water Dr drive, just making sure that,

00:40:42,170	um, uh, questions are answered and addressed and, and, um, in the best, you know, situation for all parties involved in this. Any questions OK, thank you. Thank you. Any other comments Hearing none, the public hearing is closed.

00:41:15,900	Commissioners I’ll move to approve the preliminary plat for Evergreen Heights 5th edition contingent on Final Platt approvals and the vacation of Living Water Drive being completed prior to any approval of the final plat. Second. did we need a motion to close the hearing? We have a motion by Comm Schoberg and a second by Comm Hanscha. Any further discussion Hearing none, roll call, please.

00:41:44,270	Commissionerers Schoberg, yes, Hein, yes, yes, Roarr, Mayor Frelich. Yes We’ll move on to bids. Consider bids for shores at Lakewood Phase 2 storm sewer improvementsjerrek. Mayor and Commissioners, um, on August 28th, we opened bids for a combined bid package that included storm sewer improvements as well as water and sanitary sewer improvements for the shores at Lakewood Phase 2, infrastructure

00:42:11,870	projects. I’m gonna pull up a little uh Google Maps here so we can all orient ourselves. Shores at Lakewood Phase 2. would be an extension of shores at Lakewood Phase One, which was the construction of McKenzie Drive to the West and Dutton Circle, shores Shore’s phase two would continue construction to the south around this loop and con

00:42:39,630	constructs um. oxbow Trail as a secondary access connection on the south side here, as well as an extension, um, on the west side over here. Um, as part of this bid package, the city had um Base Bit one and alternate one which represented a storm sewer construction.

00:43:05,900	uh, to be completed this fall and then alternate one was the same storm sewer construction to be completed this spring. Um, we received uh, bids from Crow River, uh, site works excavation and coffels to complete this work and um the low bid was received from SiteWorks in the amount of $393,000803.

00:43:34,330	50 and it is our recommendation to award the contract for Base Bid One to Siteworks excavation, and I would be happy to answer any questions related to this. Any questions for Jarek Mayor Jarek, um what is an oxbow supposed to be extended back there was because it was a missile going to have something constructed back it was an oxbow supposed to come around behind your and

00:43:51,100	a roadway actually finished there some time Mayor Comm Rohr, yes, Oxbow Trail would, uh, would wrap around the backs of these houses on Lillian Court and connect back up into the short shorts phase two development.

00:44:08,870	I know right now there’s a *** bridge that goes across there is that as a temporary thing or is that going to be made into actually a bridge that provides access Mayor Comm, I believe that would be the approximate location. approximate location of, of where that connection will be made. OK, thank you.

00:44:38,330	Any other questions for Jarek Hey, thank you, Jarek Commissioners I’ll move to award the contract for Bid Base One to site works excavation. Second. a second motion by Comm Schoberg, seconded by Comm Heinscha. Any further discussion Hearing none, roll call, please. Beur Hanon Bra Ror Schoberg, Mayor Freelich. Yes, motion passes.

00:45:14,100	under the consent agenda there are any items, Commissioners, that you would like removed from the consent agenda. Mayor, I’d like to pull, um, number 10 just for further clarifications from Chief. OK. Item number 10 is pulled. Any other items If not, I would look for a motion to approve and it was 1 through 9 and 11. so 2 motion by Comm Brown, seconded by Comm Schoberg.

00:45:41,270	Any further discussion Here he done roll call, please, Messrs. Braun, yes, Roar, yes, Schoberg, yes, yes, Mayor Freelich, yes. I don’t want to tan on the consent agenda. Consider approval of the Motorola Solutions bodycam agreement, Chief, yes, Mister Mayor, and, uh, was that Comm Schoberg, I was behind the pillar that had a pull or oh, OK, we’re good.

00:46:08,500	Um, just a question on well, first off, I think the having the unlimited storage, I mean, video files are large, so I like seeing that and that I think, don’t want to get into a bind on storage costs, but just curious if we add officers in the next 3 years is the rate fall under with the additional

00:46:27,370	body cams fall under that contracted price for the next 3 years, or would that be a separate addition, a different contract at a different rate. That was my only question on that piece, Mr.

00:46:42,000	Mayor, Comm Hanshaw, um, what I do when I do my budget, when we add uh, personnel to staff with body cams. I add that into the equipment budget as far as the storage and stuff, um. it’s, it’s the package deal, there may be an upcharge on it if we go over a certain limit. Usually, what they do is they’ll say up to 55.

00:47:01,330	personnel using it or whatever it is, number of cameras, you get this price and if it goes above that, then we would have to come back for a budget amendment to adjust it, but what this does, it locks us into today’s prices for an extension of 3 years.

00:47:19,470	And it’s just for the storage and stuff, the equipment we already have and own. OK. Thank you. Any further questions for Chief Ziegler? I’ll make the motion to approve item 10, the Motorola Solutions body cam agreement. Motion by Comm Heincha, seconded by Comm Brown. Any further discussion hearing none, roll call, Comm Rohr. Schoberg. Hi Chan. Brown, Mayor Frelich, yes.

00:47:52,530	there is no old business to consider in on to new business. Item number one. Consider approval of the verification of 5 special assessment districts. and they are as follows One street improvement District 231 8th Avenue Northwest. Street Improvement District 235 Street rehabilitation 2024.

00:48:26,900	Trail Improvement District One, Highway 6 Trail Trail Improvement District 2, Old Red Trail, Shared use path, mill and overlay. and water and sewer district 64 North West Trunk Sewer. Jerrek. Comm, good evening. Um, on August 20th, the special assessment Commission met and held a public hearing related to the special assessment districts, um, before you today.

00:48:52,630	Um, we did not have any public input at that meeting, um, and the Special assessment Commission verified the special assessments as they were presented at that meeting, and I don’t believe that any changes have been made since then, um, what I will do for you today is I will do a quick description of the projects and then, um, our recommendation is to approve the special assessments as presented, but, um, Eighth Avenue Northwest was,

00:49:13,100	is the first project on the list here. This included the reconstruction of Eighth Avenue Northwest between Old Red Trail and 2Fourth Street. This included sidewalk work adjacent to the new high school, um, as well as some water and sewer work at the intersection of 2-Fourth Street, Northwest, and 8th Avenue Northwest.

00:49:34,900	Second on the list is Street Improvement District number 230, uh, 235. Yup, this would be our 2024 Street Reconstruction project. This is split into two areas, uh, area one, be known as Shady Acres. This included, um, a variety of, uh, street rehabilitation efforts that included chip seals, millen overlays, and then full depth reclamation and reconstruction, as well as some drainage improvements on Main Street

00:49:58,630	East and uh um, some striping improvements along Missouri Drive. Trail District one was Highway 60. Are 2 in in District 235 was the lowest er area. This also included street improvements that ranged from chipseals, millon overlays, and full depth reclamation.

00:50:21,630	This also had 1/4 scope that included uh water main replacement and street reconstruction. There was a lot of ADA ramp improvements in the area as well as tree trimming on in both areas of this this project. Trail District 1 is the Highway 6 trail.

00:50:42,800	This is the, uh, third phase of an effort to connect Fort Lincoln Elementary Trails to, uh, the Heart River Bridge, uh, trail system, and this, uh, particular leg was from 19th Street Southeast to the bridge itself. This was constructed last, last summer, and, um, this, the improvements on this project would be special assessed back to the Mandan Parks District. Um trail district number 2 is the old red trail Shared Use path mill and Overlay project.

00:51:07,000	Um, this included mill and overlay from 30th Avenue Northwest to Sunset Drive on the southwest side of Old Red Trail, um, this would, this project would also be special assessed back to Man in Parks District. Um, it should be noted that both Old Red Trail mill and Overlay.

00:51:26,070	Project and Highway 6 Trail received about 80% federal funding through the Transportation alternatives program. So a lot of federal funds on those projects. Um, and then our last project for your consideration tonight is our water and sewer District number 64 project. This is our Northwest. Oops.

00:51:47,970	Northwest trunk sewer project, um, the city participated in, um, in a project that included the upsizing of some sanitary sewer, uh, up, up in the northwest portion of town. Um, this was, uh, primarily a developer-led project through there was 3 or 4 developers in the area that needed sanitary sewer insulation, and it was in everybody’s best interest.

00:52:06,630	It was kind of mutually beneficial to have a combined project in which the city could upsize the the sewer and uh serve the area to the north of this. of this development Um, in your packet, we have, uh estimated costs, estimated are uh proposed assessment terms and estimated interest rates.

00:52:29,170	Um, we’re recommending approval of the special assessments, but I can answer any questions if you have any more. Any questions for Jarek If not, thank you, Jarek. What are your wishes, Commissioners? I’ll move to approve the special assessments for street improvement districts number 231 and 235.

00:52:55,330	Trails Improvement District number 1 and 2 and water Sewer District 64. Second motion by Comm Hainonn, seconded by Comm Schoberg. A further discussion Hearing none, roll call, please. ber yes, yes, yes, Roar. Mayor Frelich, yes. motion passes Item number 2 under new business, consider Class A liquor license transfer from Lonesome Dove bar to Missouri Riverboat Incorporated.

00:53:26,900	Mister Neubauer, Mayor Freelich and Commissioners, um, we do have a request to, as you indicated, transfer a labor license from the Lonesome Dove to Missouri River Boat Inc. um, this would be a subject to the one-time transfer, um, when the City of Manan adjusted the municipal code, roughly about 10 years ago.

00:53:47,530	Um, we provided existing Class A liquor license holders, a one-time transfer and uh a lonesome Dove has not changed ownership or operators. since that time. Um, therefore they are entitled to the one time chain transfer, um, to be noted would be that, uh, Missouri if Comm approves this transfer, the Missouri Riverboat Inc. um.

00:54:08,370	that license would not be transferable to another party. Another party would need to come in and in essence buy a new license from the city. the, uh, uh, there’s been a background check done, property taxes are paid, so those issues are, um, all right.

00:54:28,630	We do have some questions regarding um the potential for fire code updates, building code updates, and also Western Plains Health, um, therefore our recommendation would be to approve, um, this liquor license transfer contingent upon meeting all health, safety, building codes, and things like that.

00:54:51,270	We know that the one of those um items would be the installation of a fire suppression system as we have a change in ownership. Um, I believe that, um, in working with Attorney Oster, Fire Chief Bitz, and also representatives from, uh, the, the new license transfer, um, I think they have worked out an agreement that would allow continued operation of the establishment as long as there are um contracts signed

00:55:14,230	and things like that for the installation of that uh fire suppression system. So today I think I got it all So if you have any questions, I know representatives are here tonight. If you have any questions for them.

00:55:34,870	How much time do they have to get the fire suppression system in? Mayor, I would defer to, um, John and Aaron, as they have been, I think checking with um contractors to get that system installed. Uh, good morning, Mayor or good, good evening, Mayor Freelich and Commissioners, uh, for the record, my name’s John Ward. I’m an attorney.

00:56:06,530	I’m working with, uh, the, the license, uh, seeker here, um, we have been in contact with both of the entities, I believe that provide the fire suppression systems. Um, they still have to come out, uh, give us an estimate, and then we will have a schedule as to when, uh, we can get that done.

00:56:22,530	Our hope is to get this done as soon as possible. Uh, we tentatively have a closing scheduled for October first. um and as soon as we get information from either of those entities will communicate that to city staff and, and get that all finalized, um, but yeah, certainly our hope here is to, uh, get it done as soon as possible, but

00:56:41,700	it’s just sort of subject to the schedules of, I believe it’s Nardini and Nova, who are the, the vendors. Thank you Any further questions Chief Bitz Thank you, sir So what’s the issue here Good evening, Mayor, uh, Commissioners.

00:57:19,530	So, uh, in 2006, I believe the International Fire Code was changed. um, in as a result of the station nightclub fire, public assemblies serving alcohol, uh, the requirements got a lot, uh, more restrictive as to when a fire suppression system is required.

00:57:37,100	Um, there were several businesses at that time, uh, when the city Mandan adopted that code that were grandfathered in until uh change of use or ownership. Um, so this transaction triggers that, uh, building needing to be brought up to compliance and uh as the representatives have mentioned inin city administrator Neubauer has mentioned, we have been in contact, um, we have verbal, uh, agreement and commitment in the, uh, I think the need for the

00:58:00,630	suppression system is understood by all parties. Um, so as mentioned, I think the, the next step is really um formalizing an agreement that’s reasonable without jeopardizing safety, without, uh, jeopardizing the continuity business too much.

00:58:19,470	So I think, I think a balance can be reached ed I hope that answers your questions if you’ll stand for further. Any questions for Chief Pitts? Thank you, Chief, I have a question concerning worst case scenarios, uh, something goes wrong, they can’t get it in in time. What would, what would our contract address in a situation like that.

00:58:42,500	Um, so Mayor commissioners, uh, I believe the question is, is if we can’t come to terms on the contract, uh, I think that would worst case scenario would be a um revoking the, the liquor license, but I would defer to City Attorney Oster. to confirm that Yes, um, that would be one.

00:59:08,370	And then also, I believe they would not be allowed to operate even without serving liquor. Correct. I’m sorry, I failed to mention that part. Yes, so we could um worst case scenario, um, we could cease business operations at that location if we needed to. I don’t anticipate that happening, but that’s always a possibility, correct.

00:59:32,000	OK, thank you, thank you Any further questions for Chief Bit Bittz? Not what are your wishes I’ll move to approve the transfer of the Class A liquor license effective October 1, 2025 from lonesome Dove Inc to Lonesome Dove Inc a subsidiary of Missouri Riverboat Inc contingent upon new ownership meeting all fire, building, health, and safety codes. 2.

01:00:08,730	motion by Comm Schoberg, seconded by Comm Rohrr Any further discussion Hearing none roll call, please. Gim Commissions. Haincha, Ron, yes, Roar, yes, Schoberg, yes, Mayor Freelich, yes. item number 3. Consider entering into a three-way agreement with TRX developers for the construction of water and sewer related to shores of Lakewood Phase 2 jerk.

01:00:37,100	Mayor and commissioners, um, this is related to the bit opening item that I, uh, presented on previously, um, at that same, uh, August 28th bit opening, uh, bids were opened for the water and sanitary sewer portions of the, uh, shores at Lakewood Phase Two Pro, um, and uh, the low bid was received and I think by uh site works excavation as well.

01:01:04,270	Um, and then this would be a three-way agreement that would essentially be between the city, TRX developers, and Ssiteworks excavation that would that would um uh where, where TRX developers would proceed with the private construction of water and sanitary sewer infrastructure at this location, um, with uh, the city taking over, uh, ownership and

01:01:31,170	maintenance after final completion and acceptance by the city. Um, we’re recommending, uh to enter into the agreement as presented, but I can answer any questions. Mission has any questions? Any questions for Jarek J Jarek, this is all part of a new, uh, a new, uh, neighborhood, if you will, construction projects, so that the cost of that will.

01:02:02,500	defer back to the developer. Mayor Comm Schoberg, yes, this, uh, the main difference between the water and sanitary sewer construction and the storm construction would be that the water and sanitary sewer construction will be financed upfront by the by the private developer.

01:02:20,630	and then turned over to the city after completion, where the Senate Storm sewer construction will be financed by the city and then special assessed back to the benefiting properties, so in essence, there are 22 different funding mechanisms, um, but, but in both situations, the, um, the costs likely go back to the benefiting properties in one way or another.

01:02:47,800	OK, thank you Any other questions for Jarek? If not, Commissioners I move to enter into the three-way agreement as presented. Second. motion by Comm Brown. Seconded by Comm Henon. Any further discussion Hearing non Roll called. Comm Braun, yes, Roar, yes, Schoberg, yes, Einschen, Mayor Frelich, yes. Item number 4. Consider selecting engineer firms for the following projects Mandan proper Northwest, Riley.

01:03:18,270	Good evening, May Commissioners. On August 19th, the Commission released a request for proposals for manda and proper Northwest area. Um, we received 7 proposals, and once we received these 7 proposals, we formed a selection committee containing members from Public Works, finance, engineering, and communications, um, once we had formed that committee, each committee memberend independently and individually

01:03:43,330	ranked those proposals, um, those rankings then became a scale of 1 through 7, and the highest ranked consultants was more engineering, so we are recommending we select more engineering for the AA and proper Northwest project.

01:04:07,430	Any questions for Riley? Riley, you have a map that you can I have it pull up here. So Northwest, uh, part of Mandan proper will be south of division and east of Sunset and 6th Avenue to 3rd Avenue Northwest, um, north of Fourth Street. So the construction will kind of be along these edges of these homes here.

01:04:30,600	And again that consists of what? A that’ll in a 4, full depth reconstruction, so it’ll be new water mains, new streets, um, likely new Kerman gutter, um, new sidewalks in the areas that need it, um, this area will be completely revitalized with this project. And we’re just doing preliminary work.

01:04:49,100	We, we don’t, where are we at with financing? Uh, so this will just be the 30% engineering work to get us to the point of district creation, so we kind of needed that background engineering to do some design and preliminary work to get us to a point where we feel comfortable about what the assessments might be, um, as

01:05:03,000	well as we put in a grant application, a few commission meetings ago for the flex fund for this project, um, and hopefully we get accepted on that and awarded, um, and that would help lessen assessments in the area as well.

01:05:18,170	And do you have any public input meetings scheduled? Uh, we have none scheduled at this time, but look for, look for some information coming out. We’ll get some scheduled soon. OK. Commissioners I move to select Mor engineering as an engineering firm to complete preliminary engineering for Manan proper Northwest. Second motion by Comm Rohr, seconded by Comm Schoberg. Any further discussion Hearing none Roll call, please Commissionerers, roar.

01:06:15,530	master lift station, uh, Public Works has experienced accelerated numbers of breaks on these twin asbestos concrete pipes. Um, so we’re looking to do a project to hopefully, um, mitigate those breaks and mitigate the amount of time spent down here.

01:06:36,370	Um, again, the same process happened with the selection committee, uh, members from engineering, finance, communication, and public works met. There were 4 proposals received, and we are recommending Apex Engineering. Any questions for Riley I’ll move to select Apex Engineering as the consultant to complete engineering for the masterlift station interim improvements. Motion by Comm Heinscha, seconded by Comm Brown. Any further discussion? Hearing none, roll call, please.

01:07:14,900	Comm Schoberg, yes, Heinscha, yes, Ron, yes, Roar, yes, Mayor Frelich, yes Street rehabilitation 2026 3A. Riley. So this was that 3rd RFP released on August 19th.

01:07:43,530	Uh, this is the 3A area identified in our 2020 3 or 4 2023 uh street rehab, um, condition report that moreering did for us. Um, it’ll be a essentially just the road work up here. It’ll be either a mill and overlay or Reconstruct project, uh, the engineer on board will help us determine the scope and what’s most appropriate for the roads.

01:07:59,100	Um, again, same process with that same selection committee, and we’re reckoning more engineering on this one as well. There were 6 proposals received. Any questions for Riley? If not, what are your wishes? Move to select more engineering as the consultant to complete preliminary engineering for the 2026 Street Rehabilitation project. So motion by Comm Brown, seconded by Comm Schoberg.

01:09:17,000	um this is uh this would be uh, the cost of this is, is estimated to be about $2.5 million. and we would be assessing this back to the benefiting properties inshores Phase 2 as well as some, um some of the benefiting properties in future phases that benefit from the construction of Oxbow Trail and

01:09:36,730	um, and uh the lifter, I guess maybe not the lift station, the construction of Ooxboat Trail and some of the fencing improvements along McKenzie Drive.

01:09:55,530	Um, it’s our recommendation to, uh, approve the resolutions necessary to create the district, and I can try and answer any questions if you have any.
